Summary

What rights govern heterosexual and homosexual behaviors? Two distinguished philosophers debate this important issue in Sexual Orientation and Human Rights. Laurence Thomas analyzes and criticizes heterosexual privilege, and questions the very foundations upon which we construct identities tied to sexual orientation and gender. He argues that discrimination or any hierarchical power relationships based on sexual orientation are unjustified, and asserts the rights of lesbians and gay men to equally participate in such social institutions as marriage and military service.

Author Biography

Laurence Thomas is professor in the departments of political science and philosophy at Syracuse University, where he also teaches in the Jewish Studies program. Michael Levin is professor of philosophy at City College and the City University of New York.
